I'm a curious and practical girl, trying to discover more and more things in the world. I love arts and chating about lots of stuff...literature, psichology, human existence, arts and performance, music...Well, anything! Spending time with a good conversation accompanied with a good drink (from tea to red wine) is probably one of the most pleasurable things in life. I also love when suddenly someone shows me a completely different reality that turns my way of thinking and feeling upside down! I'm a musician, singer, recorder and clarinet player, and I'm currently quite interested in early music and also in folk music, having a few musical projects on those areas. Besides that I love dancing (quite the unfulfilled unachievable dream of my life - maybe for the next one), I love nature, camping and being nomad, just travelling around. I hope I can do it more and more in the future.

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
I hope couchsurfing will give me the opportunity to meet new people and new realities. Other life styles, other foods, other places, other ideas.

One Amazing Thing I've Done
Hmm, I've no idea... I guess all the concerts and music events I was envolved in where amazing!
Teach, Learn, Share
We can share ideas about music and arts in general. I can teach you stuff about Portugal and places in Portugal and stuff related with music. I will love to know anything you feel like sharing with me! Currently, my endeavour is to learn dutch, because I'm going to move to Amsterdam the next year.
What I Can Share With Hosts
My music and portuguese traditional music. I can also cook a portuguese typical dish for you!
